Radio

It's a long way home, same straight road

Covered in dirt, not paved so strong

But my chains so gone and the bank won't loan

Trying to squeeze a dollar out the pennies I hold

The coast so cold, now my brains so frozen

One last line and my safe zone closed

I blame myself for the pain I know

Another night of working, I ain't changed my clothes

Retrace my steps, but can't face my soul

Easily distracted, can't chase my goals

Never feel at home every place I go

Patience comes natural when you wait so long

And it hates so known, I can't blame my foe

It's the people right here that I can't control

Shape my peace but won't break my whole

It's the same old song that'll never play on the radio

I wrote crumpled up paper on the bedroom floor

I was gliding for punishment, begging for more

Writing raps while beating on the bedroom door

Another song never heard, yeah heard it before

And I never lost hope, yet I feel ignored

Watched the beam from the floor, air strumming the chord

Cus, it's the same old song going platinum and gold

But you'll never hear me on the radio

Eight years old with the mic and the tape

Wrapping overdone beats, I just want to be great

They say that practice makes perfect, yes so here I am

Giving my all to what I love, I got the ultimate plan

And I need to focus hard on the right ways

I never let a sucker get in my space

I sacrificed a lot to see another day

The music industry is just a dirty game

Got me on my toes, I keep wondering why

Call themselves making music, they're so quick to comply

My whole team spit flame and I'm not gonna lie

But instead I'd rather feed into that fictional line

So we keep on making music, the only way to go

We're giving y'all a piece about the things we know

And everything we say is coming from the soul

Like good enough, you'll never hear me on the radio

I wrote crumpled up paper on the bedroom floor

I was gliding for punishment, begging for more

Writing raps while beating on the bedroom door

Another song never heard, yeah heard it before

And I never lost hope, yet I feel ignored

Watched the beam from the floor, air strumming the chord

Cus, it's the same old song going platinum and gold

But you'll never hear me on the radio

I surround myself with underground kings

Might not hear us on the radio, but songs that we sing

Have touched lives so inside I feel that all my dreams

Have been achieved, you can keep all the fame, I don't need it now

I've been going for a lifetime with a small crowd listening

But I still won't put the mic down, don't need a crown

My throne's a home where the sounds pound from people I call family

That'll never get to touch the clouds, but still we are

Amongst the stars with caviar dreams

Been beat down enough to lose sight, but still we beam

With excitement every time the song sings

With hopes that when we sing it on the stage the crowd screams

Chanting along to our songs, been playing it along for so long

Trying to hit the zone where I'm known, but yet I'm knowing I'm on

So I treat every song like it's on the radio just for y'all

And when you listen, I'm gonna give it my all, yeah I'm gonna give it my all

I wrote crumpled up paper on the bedroom floor

I was gliding for punishment, begging for more

Writing raps while beating on the bedroom door

Another song never heard, yeah heard it before

And I never lost hope, yet I feel ignored

Watched the beam from the floor, air strumming the chord

Cus, it's the same old song going platinum and gold

But you'll never hear me on the radio
